Partnerships with Parents/carers

We at Sitara Toto appreciate that a child’s first educator is their parents therefore we aim to work in partnership with them in all aspects of their child’s care and education.

• Settling in visits are recommended. This aids the transition from the home environment to nursery. This being the first opportunity to share the knowledge of their child with the future key person.
• Each child at Sitara Toto is assigned a key person who is responsible for completing their developmental records and day to day care.
• Nursery Policies and Procedures are accessible to parents as they are located in the entrance. On the notice board we display notices of information that we feel may be useful to all parents.
• Verbal feedback for the older children and written feed back for the toddler children occurs between the staff and parents daily at the beginning and end of the session.
• We encourage parents to participate in any nursery outings that take place. 

Other activities:

• Bi-annual parent conferences for parents to have a meeting with the children’s teachers to discuss progress.
• Parents in the classroom in March.
• Monthly recitals for parents to attend.
• Annual Easter Egg Hunt – pot luck lunch
• Festive concert
• Annual talk about an aspect of Montessori.
• Sport Day – potluck lunch

• And an open door policy – staff will be available to talk to the parents at any time.
